  we support socialist systems where the working classes hold the authority in society, rather than capitalists.

  I feel like, despite this being explained every time, people still think “dictatorship of the proletariat” is a bad thing because of the word “dictatorship”…

    Yep, or they realize it means democratic control by the proletariat, dictatorship against capitalists and fascists, as Marx intended, but then think socialist countries all misunderstood Marx and established capitalist-style dictatorships of the few. This is a deeply chauvanist attitude though, that assumes people in socialist countries too stupid to understand basic Marxist concepts (despite having higher functional literacy rates than the US Empire).

    No its because this person is lying. They dont honestly believe in a worker run democracy. Its just a palatable phrase they use to appear less extreme.

    They support a political class with total control benevolently dishing out to the working population.

      Nope, not what I believe at all, and the fact that you have to invent my beliefs proves you can’t actually argue against my real ones.

        1 search for “vanguard” returns several comments of you supporting a vanguard party. That is not “worker run” or democratic. So why lie and pretend you support democracy or workers?
